“a 90-minute, Wonka-fied yuletide send-up of Hollywood blockbusters and celebrity culture that’s so riddled with lowbrow humor and clever social commentary that the nimble, six-man cast rarely come across as anything less than perfection. – LA.COM

SANTASIA’s relentless assault on your holiday funny-bone will have you hurting from laughter. Stocking stuffed with everything from dysfunctional family sketches to charm, wit, love and beautiful sentiment, it conjures up memories of your own Christmas past. The hysterical holiday classic has been compared to the “Carol Burnett Show”, “Kids in the Hall”, “In Living Color”, and “Saturday Night Live”.

Santasia is appropriate for children ages 13 and over due to strong language. Children under the age of 4 are not permitted in the theatre.

Dynamic choreography, on-point holiday parody, side splitting sketch comedy, and classic Rankin and Bass inspired Claymation movies, this multi-media Santasia is the fresh face of Vaudeville Comedy.
